Boston Scott is retiring from the NFL, he announced on his own social media accounts on Wednesday. Scott was a sixth-round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints , but every regular season NFL game he played was for the Eagles from 2018 through 2023. He finished his career with 302 runs for 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns while catching 71 passes for 566 yards and an additional TD.
This is the message he wrote on social media to announce his retirement: I thought it would be after a Super Bowl win where I rode off into the sunset. I thought it would be an injury where the cons outweighed the pros on whether or not to continue. I thought it would be my body starting to wear and slow down and it was obvious I lost a step.
I thought it would be a situation that presented itself that would be something I could control. But I remembered that God is the one who placed me there. Not me.
